my draft card, what now?

my draft card, issued in 1957, is becoming discolored with time etc, but it plainly says i should carry it with me always, etc, although for a long time it sleeps in my junk drawer with my pills, etc.
Evidently i've been breaking the law for many yrs, & now i'm thinking maybe it's o.k to toss it. it doesn't have ANY bar code on it so how do they keep track of me? i truly don't want to go in the service, especially Afghanistan. If i throw it away, how will they know? my guess is----- the office where it was issued is gone, pulled down, empty bldg in a town full of empty bldgs (Woonsocket, R.I.), but i fear using it to cash checks.


my wife says the draft is over. Me too. I can't find a phone no. for my draft bd.

more same old, same old

today a Govt designated Memorial Day the 26th actually, & now, 4:40 pm, turns out it was alot like every other monday except I did the laundry in the afternoon instead of the morning. lying in bed this morning after waking up for maybe a 30 min rest, thinking of how to off myself in the most recent way i have thought of. then got up, still depressed but a momentary visit from the Holy Spirit was a brightening development. Likely no one will ever read these lines, so the why of my leaving will remain a mystery. there will be no note.

tips to young people

I just tossed out my latest cy of 'The Sun' magazine & was left thinking of what might be different today if young people all of a sudden smartened up. Just a tiny bit smarter than the system, not to steal or cheat, but just to use the brains God gave a goose.

we live in a medium-sized town which has attracted alot of people, all ages but many young both sexes. they work in many of the svc jobs, flipping burgers, checkout at Big Lots, waiting tables & one can pretty well spot the ones who'll be on the way to an actual life 5-10 yrs from now and the ones who still haven't got life figured out at all. there are the ones who have maybe 1-2 little kids, hoping by some miracle the child support check will show up, laying some guy w/o any job or hope of one, but nice tats. BIG SECRET---in Food service the customer is there for food not served by somebody with flowing hair which gets smoothed back all the time, or with an slite facial boo-boo they are occasionally poking.

I came away from the latest Sun magazine with some firm ideas--- it was full of articles by young(ish) people & some quite good photography. Generally, one would say, they can write complete sentences, even paragraphs sometimes, but they have a serious sense of humor deficit and take themselves VERY seriously. A good example of this in a career job w/ lots of visibility would be Maureen Dowd, NY Times columnist.

it's true, many of these younger ones should have been drowned shortly after birth like kittens, but now what? they won't get immunization for their kids because they heard (at the organic food store) there was something BAD(?) in the serum. They can't begin to grasp the notion of 'organic' meaning containing carbon, but they'll believe anything they hear or read from the sorries who never finished college. They want to pursue a career in giving enemas or mumbo-jumbo, or classes in 'you name it'. massage is good. they believe journalism is showing up at a press conference, grabbing a press release & rushing to their laptop to paraphrase so it is a 'news story.

if you are in need of more advice, I'm here for you.
